Book Description
Khadija was the first believer, to whom the Prophet Muhammad often turned for advice. At a time when strongmen quickly seized power from any female Muslim ruler, Arwa of Yemen reigned alone for five decades. In nineteenth-century Russia, Mukhlisa Bubi championed the rights of women and girls, and became the first Muslim woman judge in modern history. After the Gestapo took down a Resistance network in Paris, British spy Noor Inayat Khan found herself the only undercover radio operator left in that city. In this unique history, Hossein Kamaly celebrates the lives and achievements of twenty-one extraordinary women in the story of Islam, from the formative days of the religion to the present.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first person to receive the Prophet Muhammad’s message was a woman. He often turned to Khadija for advice. She knew him well and he trusted her. With her backing, he committed himself to good deeds and for a month at a time immersed himself in contemplation and devotional practices. #2 The start of Muhammad’s mission as God’s messenger was the mab‘ath, when he was visited by the archangel Gabriel with a message from God. The Quran was compiled within a generation after the Prophet Muhammad, and its emphasis on God, the creator, was fundamental to Islam. #3 When Muhammad told his wife Khadija about his vision, she believed him and set out to investigate. She went to see her cousin Waraqa, who identified Muhammad as the prophet announced in the Torah and the Gospels. #4 Khadija was a powerful woman in Mecca who used her status to back her husband when he was most vulnerable. She was both his shield and his support. The status of women in Meccan society was fraught and full of contradictions.

Book Description
"Book Abstract: The sociology of the Middle East has been an expanding field of inquiry since the aftermath of WWII when phenomena as diverse as urbanization, internal and international migration, and peasant societies attracted the attention of scholars working on the region. The Middle East became central in key sociological debates on modernization theory and the critical responses. The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of the Middle East connects this historical trajectory with the emergence of the sociology of Islam, inspired by Max Weber. It explores how within the global community, the Middle East has become a terrain of heightened concern within the post-Cold War context, where the promising rise of civic (and often religiously-inspired) sociopolitical movements in the 1980s and 1990s has been slowly overwhelmed by the affirmation of jihadist networks, authoritarian states, and complex supranational security apparatuses. This foundational volume starts by engaging in a critical examination of the field itself, starting with a historical sociology of the making of the idea itself of the Middle East and linking it with the legacy of colonialism and the evolving dynamics of global power. In repurposing the sociology of the Middle East within a growing interdisciplinary multifield, the Handbook develops the critical argument that the exploration of social dynamics in the Middle East cannot be disjoined from the analysis of culture and politics. By connecting the vexed state-society relations in the region with movements of transformation and the affirmation of rights and creativity in the public arenas, it provides a comprehensive perspective to investigate longstanding regional and new transregional and global dynamics and their impact on the life of people in the region. Keywords: sociology of the Middle East, sociology of Islam, Max Weber, historical sociology, Middle East and North Africa region, MENA"--
